i'm in a rush to find one since my 96 gt is busted and i have to drive the 03 cobra everyday. i still have the gt,which i plan on fixing and selling, but i want an lt1(much quicker) for daily duty. the problem is most have 110-120k miles. is that too high a mileage to start modifying?

Most stock auto LT1 F-bodies I see around here run mid to high 14s. Most of that has to do w/ the driver.

well i guess the problem is mileage now. most i see have at least 100k miles on them, some a little over. TANGERINEta thinks thats too high of a mileage to start tinkering with it.
